    "content": "The business community produces their products, but they cannot meet the international standards. The Government should help SMEs to add value to their products. Once you add value, the product can compete in the international market. Many of our exports are agricultural products. We have been exporting coffee and tea. We produce very good tea, which is one of the best in the world. So, it is good for the Government to help farmers in value addition. Our exports will have higher value if we do value addition. We had the Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA), where Americans were giving money to Kenyans so that we can take our products to America. They do value addition and then export it back to us. This is something that we must look into so that that we add value to whatever is being exported out of the country, so that we can bridge the trade deficit."
